Hipgear video choices

If you're making a portable you probably need something to watch it on. (Unless you want to guess what's happening in the game, but I wouldn't advise that) Anyway, this forum is your "Hacking a pocket TV/screen" one-stop solution. Share your experiences and knowledge here.

I've considered it before. There are quite a fewe xtra traces that have to do something. btw, did you know if you take a desoldered PlayStation AV plug, it fits right into the holes perfectly. Could be a coincidence, but if the composite video and ground on the plug matches up to the holes on the LCD baord, then the RGB and S-video might match up too. It's a a longshot, but it's worth checking out.

yeah, that IS a longshot :P...but, it doesn't hurt to check it out :). I may be screwing around with one of my hip gears soon, so perhaps I'll check that out.
Without games my life would have no meaning.
Well, I guess it would, but it would be a lot less fun!!!!!!!
